Review of the Stratford Chamber Music Concert
September 12, 2004

The young Cuban pianist Javier Gonzalez performed for Stratford Chamber Music on September 12th.

He began his program with the 3rd Bach English Suite, and unlike most pianists, his interpretation had a romantic sensibility that immediately captivated the audience. His counterpoint is remarkable, every voice is distinct, every finger an independent entity, reminding me of Gould with his semi-staccato delicacy. But the lyrical charm sets it apart from most interpreters of the baroque.

In the Mozart Fantasia in C minor every dynamic marking in the score was there, and he negotiated his way through its technical minefields as though they were walks in the park.

He followed with a Chopin tour-de-force, the Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante, note perfect with a technical mastery that was astounding, but with the same delicacy, tenderness and clarity that we heard in the Bach.

He devoted the second half of the program to the Latin music of Albeniz, Granados and Lecuona, which is closest to his heart, revealing again his technical brilliance and passionate rhythmic sense that had the audience on their feet. His enchanting little encore was the Joropo by Moises Moleiro, a Venezuelan composer.

With luck and the right contacts this young performer has an international career ahead of him. He is performing in Zurich and Barcelona at the end of September.
